Monetary System” why a US dollar collapse could be coming and why gold would probably emerge at the heart of a new global monetary system as the only money that you can really trust.The above are edited excerpts from an article* by Peter Cooper (arabianmoney.net) originally entitled $7,000 gold, $400 oil and $100 silver will help beat a coming US deflation explains Jim Rickards.
The following article is presented by Lorimer Wilson, editor of www.munKNEE.com (Your Key to Making Money!) and the FREE Market Intelligence Report newsletter (sample here) and has been edited, abridged and/or reformatted (some sub-titles and bold/italics emphases) for the sake of clarity and brevity to ensure a fast and easy read. This paragraph must be included in any article re-posting to avoid copyright infringement.
Cooper goes on to say in further edited excerpts:
$7,000 Gold
[Rickards believes] an executive order raising the gold price to $7,000 will be the only way to break a deflationary downward spiral in the U.S. if money printing reaches its limits and the Fed pulls back, as is happening this year and that the Federal Reserve could make this price stick by conducting open market operations and that “the purpose would not be to enrich gold holders but to reset general price levels… this kind of dollar devaluation against gold would quickly be reflected in higher dollar prices for everything else.$400 Oil & $100 Silver
‘The world of $7,000 gold is also the world of $400 per barrel oil and $100 per [troy] ounce silver. Deflation’s back can be broken when the dollar is devalued against gold, as occurred in 1933 when the United States revalued gold from $20.67 per [troy] ounce to $35 per [troy] ounce, a 41% dollar devaluation.”
His conclusion is that ‘if the Unites States faces severe deflation again, the antidote of dollar devaluation against gold will be the same because there is no other solution when printing money fails.’
One important thing to note about Jim Rickards is that he’s a respected money manager and not a diehard believer in everything shiny. What he provides is a logical end-game to the times we are living through. Gold guru Jim Sinclair has said the same albeit without this full macro analysis.
Logic also tells you that a money with a fixed supply like gold will be worth more in a world awash with money printing. This explanation just points a path to how it gets there. It takes several leaps forward to achieve this and. [while] timing this is always going to be impossible, events are going to start moving fast.

1. James Rickards on $7000 – $8000 Gold
You are going to see the price of gold go up… a lot and it may go up a lot in a very short period of time. It’s not going to go up 10% per year for seven years and the price doubles. It’s going to chug along sideways, maybe in an upward trend, with a lot of volatility. It will have a kind of a slow grind upward… and then a spike… and then another spike… and then a super-spike. The whole thing could happen in a matter of 90 days — six months at the most. Read More »

3. Bock and Rickards Agree: Governments Want Gold to Go Higher!
James G. Rickards, author of the current best seller Currency Wars, is so informed and articulate that he is almost scary in his clarity. He is the only person who essentially says what I have been saying about the “hidden” intent of the US Treasury and Central Bank – to deliberately weaken the US dollar and to cause price inflation, all in the interests of improving US competitiveness and to pay debt through financial repression. Ergo…they indirectly want and will cause the price of precious metals to escalate. Words: 398 Read More »
4. Governments Will Want – Will NEED – Much Higher Gold Prices! Here’s Why
That governments will want – and will NEED – much, much higher gold and silver prices in the future is counter intuitive, given that they have done everything within their power to throttle back and to keep a lid on bullion prices. Let me explain why. Words: 1300
5. Gold:Silver Ratio Suggests Much Higher Future Price for Silver – MUCH Higher!
The majority of analysts maintain that gold will reach a parabolic peak price somewhere in excess of $5,000 per troy ounce in the next few years. Given the fact that the historical movement of silver is 90 – 95% correlated with that of gold suggests that a much higher price for silver can also be anticipated. Couple that with the fact that silver is currently greatly undervalued relative to its average long-term historical relationship with gold and it is realistic to expect that silver will eventually escalate dramatically in price. How much? This article applies the historical gold:silver ratios to come up with a range of prices based on specific price levels for gold being reached. Words: 691 Read More »
6. Silver Has the Potential to Increase 4-Fold From Today’s Price – Here’s Why
The price ratio of gold to silver has fallen precipitously in raging bull markets for the metals, so the silver price could have an upwards move at four times the rate of any gold price increase. I think that the fundamentals look better than ever, and…[that] there is an explosive move coming in 2014. [Indeed,] I think that within a reasonable timeframe silver will probably trade over $100.

10. Silver Projected to Reach $100/ozt. As Soon As Late 2015! Here’s My Rationale
There are many predictions for the price of silver. Some say it will crash to nearly $20, and others proclaim $100 by the end of 2012. The problem is that some predictions are only wishful thinking, others are obvious disinformation designed to scare investors away from silver, and many are not grounded in hard data and clear analysis. Other analyses are excellent, but both the processes and analyses are difficult to understand. Is there an objective and rational method to project a future silver price that will make sense to most people? Yes, there is! [And here it is!] Words: 1071
I believe that all PM’s will increase in value, not just Gold and for that reason alone PM’s should be held in every portfolio, which makes good financial sense even if Gold doubles or triples in value…
